Episode 166 - Quantum

Holy geek! Decision Space has been nominated for a Golden Geek award again. Thank you all so much for voting, truly. With that out of the way, this week we are giving Quantum our traditional Decision Space deep dive treatment. We will explore why the game's efficient use of dice feels simultaneously, foundational, thematic, and efficient. We also talk about end-game dynamics, if this space game feels like chess, special powers, and so much more. Interdecisional Spaceship travellers, join us in the magic circle and let's explore Quantum!

Next week we will share our top 10 games of all time!

Episode 165 - Revisiting Games

Golden Geek, Golden Geek, Golden Geek! That's right, it's pledge week here on Decision Space. Please consider nominating us for best podcast in the golden geek awards on BGG. In this week's episode. Jake and Brendan talk about revisiting games. What causes us to dust off and revisit a game after it has been on the shelf for some time? Are there some qualities that make a game more revisitable than others? Is revisitability even a word? Don't answer that last question. After an initial discussion, Jake and Brendan dive into some games that they have been revisiting lately and there experiences with them. Enjoy, Decisionaughts, and ask yourself, did I do my part... to nominate Decision Space for a golden geek award.
